"Remembering "Old Jerusalem: Storytelling and the Politics of Sephardi/Mizrahi Cultural Revival
This article interrogates the cultural politics of a series of storytelling performances in Jerusalem in light of an ongoing "revival" of Sephardi and Mizrahi Jewish heritage in Israel. An examination of performers' on-stage narratives and interactions reveals three discursive approaches to defining authentic Jerusalem culture through descriptions of "old-time" lifeways: emphasizing the city's cosmopolitan past; challenging contemporary social hi…
Mobile Cartographies and Mobilized Ideologies: The Visual Management of Jerusalem
This article analyses a recent ideological shift in the visual management of Jerusalem. Through two case studies in the real estate and tourism industries we show how mobile technologies are shaping both actual settings in, and visual consumption of, Jerusalem.

What Palestinian Girls Want: “Reading” Adolescence in Their Autograph Books
Autograph books (“memory books”) circulate among adolescent students, who fill their pages with dedications, memories, and wishes for the future. Although related genres like yearbooks and personal websites are replacing them, in East Jerusalem the tradition continues to evolve alongside newer media. In interviews with Palestinian women about the memories evoked by these keepsakes, I delve into the turbulent period of adolescence to explore such …
